Francisco Alejandri’s well-reviewed food never quite found its groove inside El Gordo (214 Augusta Ave.) the food stall incubator in Kensington Market. Between Alejandri’s glacial pace (insisting that everything be made from scratch, even slicing onions for each order) and a cramped, poorly ventilated room, the business was never able to keep up with demand.

Alejandri has left El Gordo while the space undergoes renovations. But his business has already found a home at Harbourfront Centre (235 Queens Quay W.) according to a promotional video on their site.

New to the El Gordo space in September will be Seven Lives tacos. Owner Sean Riehl promises some bold and nutty combinations, including smoked marlin, chipotle octopus and scallop chorizo. Expect prices to be about $4 to $7.
